Chicken Satay & Peanut Sauce

I'm next the satay sauce recipe inward "The Best of Singapore Cooking". My satay sauce is every bit good chunky because the peanuts are all roughly chopped every bit per the recipe. And the color doesn't hold off right. Maybe the recipe needs around turmeric?

For the 2nd attempt, I pulverize one-half of the peanuts to give the sauce a smoother together with thicker consistency. Surprisingly, that also gives me the correct shade of golden yellowish color for the sauce.

Now I know! There's no take away to add together turmeric. The golden hue comes from roasted peanuts, which convey to survive finely solid soil together with and therefore boiled to unloosen their colour.

Nope, I don't convey a charcoal barbecue alongside naked flames dancing. I volition when I convey a large household that has a large garden. Meanwhile, the oven would convey to do.

Compared to around satay that looks two-dimensional because the substance is therefore thinly sliced, mine is definitely plus-size. There isn't whatever drama inward my kitchen from leaping flames, dancing sparks or furious fanning. But there's enough of juicy, succulent meat.

With or without drama, dunking grilled chicken inward peanut sauce is 1 of life's biggest pleasures.
